Amouranth has shared her thoughts about Trainwrecktv’s upcoming streaming platform Kick – says it has a bad reputation. 

In October 2022, popular streamer Trainwreckstv dropped one of the biggest announcements of his life. He revealed Kick, a new streaming platform for creators. The developers brought it to life, standing as Twitch’s arch-rival as streamers had complained about various things wrong on Twitch. So, to create a much safer platform, rather something that could be in favor of creators, they launched Kick. But then, after having a good run for a couple of months, things started going south. Like Twitch, users complained that Kick has ‘unnecessary liberty,’ leading to a bad reputation in the market.

Then, the Twitch streamer penned the reasons for thinking the same. First, she blamed the team for hiring popular names just for the sake of it. In her opinion, they were posing a threat to the platform’s reputation as they streamed things that were NSFW. A popular example of it was Adin Ross, who was criticized for going too far to garner views.

Second, Amo claimed that ‘Kick was made for streaming gambling and not p*rn, so they needed to straighten that out as soon as possible‘. And this was not just for their reputation, as this extra liberty was allowing creators to take things in hand and cause trouble. This could lead to a downfall in later times, so they need to revamp their TOS.
